Summary • Time reversal mirrors, either active or passive, exploit spatial diversity to achieve temporal and spatial focusing in complex environments (e.g., acoustic waveguide) • Temporal focusing mitigates ISI while spatial focusing enables a straightforward extension to multi-user MIMO communications. • Active (downlink) and passive (uplink) time reversal is equivalent mathematically with the communications link being in the opposite direction. • Time reversal approach provides optimal performance in theory when combined with adaptive channel equalization. • At-sea experimental results in shallow water have demonstrated the effectiveness of time reversal communications.
